Me?

So as you know I went to camp, hmmmm probably about two weeks ago.

So I'm waiting in line for dinner Friday night (first night we were there) and started talking to this guy. His name was Craig (probably mid 30's) I talked to him. I introduced myself and asked, "So what church did you come with?" And he said, "I didn't come from a church."
"Oh then what are you doing here?" Lol
*Smiles* "I don't know"
"Uhm...okay. Where are you from?"
"Texas"
"Texas? What are you doing here?"
"I don't know"

HAHA so I talked to him a little more then went to dinner. After dinner we all went to Chapel. Mariah (girl who works there) and Dave (my youth leader) were giving announcements. Then Ryan came up and said, "Okay lets bring up our speaker for this weekend. Craig!" Craig gets up there, looks at me and started laughing :( Lol. It was so embarrassing lol. During his end in prayer I was asking God "God what do you want me to do? I'm lost I need you Lord. You didn't just bring me up here for my friends you brought me up here for a reason. I need something to work with Lord." (Keep this prayer in your mind while you read on).

After Chapel I went inside to the Hungry Bear and got a drink. Well Craig was sitting with Dave and Yvonne (Dave's wife). They were bragging to Craig about how I went to D2S and became a whole new person. I mean I seriously was a new person. I came home and shared my faith with anyone I could. I even lost some friends over it (we talk again now but were not as good friends as we used to be.) I said, "Well this is awkward so I'm leaving. " Hung out with friends came back for cabin time and they were all in THE CABIN already lol (we usually have cabin time with Dave if there are guys and girls).

Before I left, Craig looked at me and told me to go over there. So I did. He leaned over and asked "What do you think about going to Japan?" I laughed and said, "You're kidding right?.....You're not kidding are you?"
"Do I look like I'm kidding?"
"No..."
"..."
"Well the money..."
"And you don't think I would provide that for you?"

OH MY GOODNESS (Just had to throw my thoughts in there lol sorry)

"If you are so excited about God here, why can't you go over there?"

He gave me the website and told me to think on it. I hung out with him more of the weekend so he could get to know me a little more. He is so cool dude!! Now the lingering question for some of you "Are you going?" Yes. I need to raise money. $3,200. No not cheap BUT I can raise it! Only thing is, I would have to go in 2010 because all of the slots were filled.

Prayer is awesome! Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers.

God Bless

Peace

Okay...Don't really know what to title this as...

So lately my temper has been really short but oh well what are you going to do? I went to Youth Group last night and I brought Haylei again. There was so much drama last night but I got to talk to some people I haven't talked to in a while. Uhm....yeah....OH I saw my brother yesterday and he was doing pretty good. He had to leave early because he had to go practice with his band so I was a little bummed about that....other then that yeah...Have a great day.

God Bless

Peace
